Luke was so seriously affected by
the announcement of so fundamental
a threat, so pointedly and publicly
expressed that he copied in his mem

and brought 1t to Inc for consultation.
After cogitating for sometime upon
all the medical, surgical and legal
lore l had ever read, 1 solemnly adj
vised him, IN case the threat embod-
led IN the "Notls" should be executed,
to quit farming at once aud go into a

Rev Blaze took for his test "rhe
Lord giyeth and the Lord taketh away;
blessed be the name Of the Lord"
The sermon was not noted for elo-
qucnce or rhetoric, but it was full Of
hope and cheer. He did not. as many
ministers do, preach all round the sub
ject, but right at it. He said the body
lying before them was only the casket
which had contained little Amos, but
that he had left this frlil tenement of
clay, and was now with his parents in
the eternal home where night never
comes. There was no cause for weep
ing, IL was the change of which Job
spake. That which was our loss was
his eternal gain, and yet as selfish NOR
tails we could not but shed tears and
long for the society Of the departed. !.
His closing remarks about the final
meeting upon the shores Of the better
land, where friends and relatives among
that angel band would greet us with
loud hosannas, was so stirring as to
cause many sobs of tender sympathy
and hope, and there we would find the
little boy no longer a cripple, but one Of
the fairest and brightest Of all that an

Helen returned home with Rose. She
as yet knew nothing Of the discovery
on her wild lands, and of the good
fortune which was about to befall her.
Surprising herself still poor and de-

morning after the funeral, announced
her intention of once more going out

Warren asked her TO come with him

The Pioneer Press. in an editorial
this morning printed q story that the
banquet to Senator Beck at 81. Paul
last night had o hidden meaning
which was no less than deep design
to put the Kentucky man forward for

Sachem was masked under the guise of
a social banquet in order not to offend

Kelly to help along his bIom in the

When Mr.. Kelley was shown this
editorial this morning he was sitting
in his Office talking to Capt. Wood
and an up country postmaster. There
was suspicion Of cobweb In his voice
and his hair stood up In little refrac-
toring angle which indicated that he
had . good time at the banquet last
night. His eyes twinkled good ma
turedly as be said:

funny he is fiat failure. That edi-
torial was just:to furnishIa little iun for

to know better. Why, Senator Beck
is ineligible, for the reason that the
